Ever since it's launch in 2007 the 3T Arx alloy stem has been the go to choice for many road bike users thank to its great performance and classic looks. The new Arx II provides the same great performance as the much loved Arx but features some minor changes that help to reduce the weight.

The Arx II faceplate is drawn in tighter at the top and bottom, for a more ovalized frontal appearance, while retaining the cutout 3T logo. The sides of the extension are slightly flattened for a more sculpted look by comparison with the tubular section of the first-generation Arx. A single M6 bolt clamps the stem to the fork steerer, in place of the twin M5 bolts used previously. Bolts are now the more-secure Torx-type fitment in place of the Allen bolts used previously.

Team Range:

3T Team components are intended for top-level competition, and is widely used by professional and amateur racers. Team products equal to Ltd in function, but have minor concessions to price in materials specification and finish.

Team components are built either in advanced carbon-composite materials, or the highest grades of heat-treated aluminium alloy. This gives them great strength and robustness, so they are especially suitable for the rough-and-tumble of season-long competition. Bolts and fixings may be stainless-steel or titanium. You’ll find the widest choice of fittings and sizes in the Team range.

3T is a venerable name in Italian cycling. The company’s founder Mario Dedioniggi was celebrated for his pioneering use of new, lighter materials – in his day, aluminum alloys. 3T became the go-to company for breakthrough components that win races.

In 2007, 3T embarked on a major program of investment in advanced design and engineering. Since then, they have renewed the entire product range with components that exceed pro racers' every demand.

To achieve top engineering quality, 3T built the Intelligent Production Lifecycle, the bike industry’s most advanced design platform. 3T hired their technical director from the Ferrari F1 team, and continue to recruit designers from among the world’s most talented engineers.

EVERY 3T DESIGN STARTS WITH A CLEAN SHEET

Our base is a Zen clarity; a laser-like focus on best engineering practice; and lateral thinking that tests every possibility.

3T made it's name as a pioneer of new, lightweight materials. That tradition continues with today's materials, carbon composites. F1 race-car design has shown the way forward, and at 3T we know about that; the mastery of carbon fiber is our core competence.

Aerodynamics are a critical success factor for all cyclists who want to ride faster. 3T goes beyond making parts that go faster. Our aim is to make parts that make the rider faster. The numbers we get from our wind tunnel sessions are not theoretical, they describe how our aero designs help the real-world rider perform better.

Safety is at the heart of our product design. Riders always want lighter and faster, but this can never be at the expense of safety. We test our components to destruction – so you never have to.

The final stage in the product Lifecycle is the reality test: riding the component. Whatever the numbers say, it has to feel right to the rider. That’s why 3T is a keen supporter of world-class cycle sport – because competition drives better component design.

3T sponsors top riders in road racing, triathlon, cyclocross, track, and MTB. Our sponsored athletes expect the best. Their judgment is unsparing. We rely on them to tell us how 3T components can be better still.
